Do you really need dynamic apps ?

To run pylons apps you can simply use:

http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/UsePaste

Dynamic apps requires a valid (non-empty) SCRIPT_NAME, so if you do not specify it,
your app will be simply not loaded (infact you receive an app-not-found error)

Your solution is good as DynamicApps allows funny configurations, and your tecnic is one of those that allow to bypass
WSGI/uWSGI/webservers limits with a very little overhead.

By the way, i am investigating the possibility (and implications) of mapping zero-size SCRIPT_NAME to the default app
in DynamicApps mode
